The No. 7 Texas Longhorns secured a thrilling 33-30 overtime victory against the No. 23 Kansas State Wildcats, preserving their Big 12 title aspirations and College Football Playoff hopes. Despite the win, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian acknowledged the team's lack of killer instinct and highlighted the importance of improved depth and continuity on defense.
